Cartoons by Miles: June 2024

This concept was directed to me from the editorial meeting. I work from home and generally supply 3 or 4 topics for them to choose from and then I create concepts around the chosen news topic. Someone obviously had a flash of brilliance and so I didn't have to do any thinking and just drew the thing , being the lazy schmuck that I am.

No winners

just our politcians going round and round while the country spirals out of control.

Washout

This was the day the Eastern Cape was inundated with torrential rain and flooding. I had just started with this concept when the heavens opened. The rest of the morning was spent trying to stop water from flooding the property, unblocking drains and getting soaking wet. We had about 200mm of rain in a couple of hours. I sent off this one idea, which I thought was workable but the editor on duty wanted to see other options. I was wet, tired and miserable so this is as far as the idea went and the had to use a photo in the cartoon leader page spot.
